A good one!  Took me a second to get into it but soon was hooked.  If listening to the audio book I recommend checking the chapter titles to help you remember which POV you are listening to!
The Guest List: A Novel
 
Shannon Jolley profile picture
Started this book knowing nothing about the book and so glad I read it!  It was very realistic, and the writing was really good.  Had me googling if the one of the characters was based off a real person or not!

I know a lot of people loved this - I'm open to being told things get better but the part where she essentially got a hysterectomy just felt so unnecessary and weird - like doing that to your body is a massive thing and can do so many things to your ... I stopped halfway through this part so if this changes someone tell me so I can go back to it

Auto Biography

 
Shannon Jolley profile picture
As a reality TV girlie, this one had me hooked.  I listened to the audio book which is read by the author and while she is no voice actor, you can hear the emotion in her voice and understand her passion and thoughts hearing it directly from her.  I'm not usually a biography reader but loved this one.
